In the gilded drawing rooms of late-Victorian London, a young man of extraordinary beauty sits for a portrait that will change everything. When Dorian Gray glimpses his own perfect likeness on the canvas, he makes a wish so reckless, so seductively simple, that he barely notices the moment his soul shifts beneath him.What follows is a slow, glittering descent. Under the spell of the magnetic Lord Henry Wotton – a man who can make sin sound like philosophy and ruin sound like wit – Dorian sets out to taste everything life will offer him. Pleasure. Power. The thrill of being adored. And as the years pass without leaving a single mark on his face, the portrait hidden upstairs begins to keep a different kind of record.Oscar Wilde's only novel is a wicked, beautiful thing – part Gothic fable, part drawing-room comedy sharpened to a knife's edge, part moral reckoning that refuses to behave itself. It scandalised Victorian England on publication and has been quietly unsettling readers ever since.A book about vanity, desire, and the price of getting exactly what you wished for.Just don't look too long in the mirror afterwards.
